In reply to the discussion: I'll be blunt. Democrats help "normalize" Trump if we wait for an election to hold him accountable [View all]Locrian
(4,523 posts)They're doing nothing and trying to go "back" to the very state that *gave us trump in the first place*
Without ever having rectified any of the normalized advances by the gop - they push the ball 80 yards, we get it and push 2 yards back and call it being bipartisan.
Why are they protecting trump? Even if it's not what they would initiate (impeachment) they should be pounding the drums to put the fear of god in him. Not per-emtive surrender all the time (oh sorry, 8D chess). The only reason I can fathom is that it's good for fundraising and hoping a more "conservative" dem is the nomination?
As far as tactician, they can't even tell story: the Pelosi et all side just does NOT get that you cannot control the flow of information from a "central" location, and that the speed that trump communicates with his minions lets him run circles around them. It's astounding - that with his small reptile brain he still gets his "way" more often than not. But they don't even try. They give in first and negotiate later with weakly worded letters.
